Immunoglobulin infusion--when it's given.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with the steroid infusions. I had very few side effects and they were really mild. Insomnia, hair loss, and light body hair. All have resolved once infusions ended. Can't believe how much IVIG costs. If steroids didn't work that was what my neurologist was going to try next.

I lost hair as well, doctors believe it was from the severe stress from my hospital stay.
If you need hair to start growing and getting strong & healthy again, try the supplement Biotin.
It caused my hair to grow back again after about 3 months. Also nails start growing)
Glad you didn't have to start IVIG treatments and happy you are on the mend!
